Ne'er do well

I was thinking that I would like for my wife to have another child. It’s not that I especially want to have another kid running around, but rather because I love hospital cafeteria food. One of the highlights of our visit to the hospital during my daughter’s birth was the food that was served in the cafeteria. Now, the old adage about how crappy hospital food is still holds true for the food that they bring to the patients in the rooms, but not for the meals that you go downstairs to purchase. I guess they must have different cooks or something because the food downstairs is ten times better than the food upstairs. Not only is the food great, but you can get a decent meal for around $5. Try going to any good restaurant for a good meal that costs $5, you can’t do it. Now before you think I am a totally insensitive clod for wanting another child just to get some good food, I could have really been a jerk and wished that someone I know got cancer or something. In fact, if someone I knew got cancer, I would probably spend a lot more time in the hospital than I would for a birth. Is there some disease that anyone knows of that requires a hospital stay that is 100% curable and has no lingering effects?

As we all know (or should know), about 98% of all people that are involved with government of any form are clinically retarded, evil or both. The latest bit of evidence came in today in the form of a news article in The St. Petersburg Times. This is a local example of the waste that we call government, but I’m sure similar things happen all around the world all of the time. In the Pinellas County School District, there have been contracts of $842,188 awarded to Sciarra Lawn Care for the maintenance of some school playgrounds. As a point of reference, since this story has come out, several lawn services have said that the work done should have cost only about a third of this price tag (and I suspect it could be done for even less). Here’s what happened, Robert Sciarra, the owner of the lawn service put in an inflated bid to the maintenance department of the school system and his buddy on the school payroll, Alan Smith, accepted his bid even though it was absolutely ridiculous. Now, as I said, 98% of government employees are retarded or evil. Alan Smith is one of the evil ones by wasting tax payer money by letting it being stolen by the lawn service of which I am sure he got a cut. This troubles me, but what really troubles me is that he was getting away with it. Doesn’t anyone else at the school board have any idea of what the fuck is going on around them? Are they all complete idiots or are they all playing minesweeper in their cubicles? Here is what should happen: anyone who has any connection at all with the maintenance department should be fired. No if ands or buts, fire first, ask questions later. Go out on the streets and hire the first people without a job that you find. Don’t ask for qualifications. Don’t ask for references, just hire them. It doesn’t matter who you hire, they will do a better job. They can’t do worse! Tell them that the minute they screw up, they’re gone too. As the old saying goes, a hungry dog hunts harder. What do we have to lose? We should take this approach with all government institutions around the country on a local, state and federal level. For all hired employees, screw up and you’re gone! Maybe these people will actually start doing some good work for the people that pay their salaries, you and I.
